Bar-tailed Godwit banded in Victoria found in Western Alaska

[Ian May <>]

Yeah sure thing.


"they spotted a bar-tailed godwit with a small orange flag and aluminum 
band harmlessly attached to its legs. Further research revealed that" 

When considered in context of the hundreds, perhaps thousands of leg 
flagged godwits that have been manacled, the statement "that a small 
flag and aluminium band harmlessly attached to its legs" is no more than 
an optimistic assumption when evaluating the return rate of the few 
survivors.
